I don't know about anyone else, but I learned almost nothing about software design when getting my computer science degree.

- straws 14y agoCS degrees are not a catch-all. Most teach data structures, algorithms, a little AI and database theory. Few teach how to structure programs. I'm pretty sick of the "I work with people without CS degrees" excuse. Good software design really comes down to experience, persistence, and taste.

In fact, their persistence was a requirement for them to be able to get their jobs done at all, given how bad they were.
